2004 Ranger XLT FX4 4.0 automatic. The transfer case is a BW1354 electric shift.

Has anyone ever seen this and if so, what caused it?

I have never in my life seen one crack. I would bet you ran over something that didn't seem like a big deal, a 2 X 4 in the road, crowbar, concrete...

Unless you just bought that particular truck and it was damaged by improper lifting on a hoist, someone moved it with a fork lift (I've seen this break a U joint) prior to you buying it.

It would be interesting to hear how you discovered this, how long you had the truck, stuff like that.

Sorry it happened to you!

Maybe something broke inside and jammed against the case?

Whatever, it is going to have to come apart to fix it!

I've had the truck for a bit over five years. I recently blew low range out climbing a pretty steep hill. We got this transfer case from a wrecking yard. It had no visible cracks or blemishes. We swapped it out and replaced all three u-joints. The first indication of trouble was a sound like putting a car in park while still rolling when coasting to a stop. We could ride the brakes a little and it went away. We discovered the cracks when we considered disconnecting the transfer case motor.
